A piece of beauty
Poundex St Croix Console Table
I am from Mumbai though I have been studying and living in NYC for the past 2 years. My biggest grouse with West-based authors writing about India is that they are too removed from reality and are busy depicting a stereotypical India that is very changed today.
This book and the author surprise me by how accurate it is. We had a "bai" or a maid like Bhima in my home when I was growing up and some of the interactions between Sera and Bhima are very close to conversations in my own home. And though Sera's choice in the end is terrible, I am humbled to accept that inspite of my education and "modern" thinking, I can understand why Sera chose to stick with her family.
The more striking thing about the book that it is not only about India as it is not about "caste" which are sub-portions of the Hindu religion but rather about "class" which is more wealth and social stature driven. This story could well be set in a white household with a colored servant and would probably be the same. I think it is this universal appeal of the book that makes me give it 5 stars.
Definitely a must read.

It arrived very quickly and I set it up the same day, by myself with no problems. It's beautiful and very solid and sturdy.
I received this table very quickly and it is absolutely beautiful. It was very simple to put together and looks perfect! The price was great as well!
The table is very classy looking and fuctional. It was pretty easy to put together, and is a great addition. We use it as a "mud room/entry way" area, with baskets below it for shoes, hats, gloves, etc. It looks like there are four drawers, but there are actualy two drawers (each with two handles). Definitely a great value for a very nice looking table. Very sturdy.
This table is very well made and a nice addition to our living room. I was unsure when we bought it but having received it and set it up, I am very pleased with the overall product. I recommend this to others.
I absolutely love this table! Great quality! Nice and heavy and the color is beautiful! I had to wait a little while for it, but it was definitely worth the wait. I would highly recommend this merchant. Easy to work with and very responsive!
This table has a nice, rich color, and an expensive look to it. It is sturdy, and was easy to assemble. It's smaller than I had pictured it, but still works in the office entry-way where I placed it. It would be great in a living room or a home setting. Overall I'm very satisfied.
